Multimodal Al predicts clinical outcomes of drug combinations from preclinical data
Overview
Paper Summary
MADRIGAL uses multiple data sources to predict how well and how safely different drugs will work together. It predicts the effects before the drug combinations are tested on people and can be used to screen for adverse drug interactions and personalize cancer treatments. However, the predictions rely on existing data, which may be biased, and clinical trials are still necessary to confirm the results.
Explain Like I'm Five
MADRIGAL is a computer program that predicts how safe and effective combinations of drugs will be. It uses lots of data to learn about the drugs before they are tested on people.
